Last shot of my first days in Dhaka. Lots more from Bangladesh but it's time for something completely different for a couple of weeks.
The redeeming feature of this photo is that it shows my first confrontation with Dhaka traffic by foot and the challenge of simply crossing a street, having only arrived that morning. And it was one of the very first shots of more than 8,000 to follow.
German built locomotive 2714 arrives at Dhaka Kamlapur with an Inter City passenger train. Note the guy 'surfing' the locomotive. This is a Henschel degigned locomotive however the last batch of locos are credited as ADtranz so had a different engine to the Henschel ones.

Andromedans have chosen Dhaka. They do not seem to like busy traffics, or so much disorderly hustle and bustle of a typical workday. Or, maybe it is the number of the masked persons that has startled them. But they did not know of COVID.
